Managing multiple sclerosis requires a comprehensive approach because it
is a very complex disease. Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is an incurable
condition that affects every patient differently. It’s also an ongoing
disease that may change throughout its course. However, strategies and
treatment options make this condition manageable for thousands of patients.
Ogden Clinic’s neurologists and staff are trained to help manage
the symptoms of MS and even modify or slow the disease course.
What causes multiple sclerosis?
MS is an unpredictable disease of the nervous system wherein the body’s
immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system. The symptoms
of multiple sclerosis can range from relatively benign to disabling, as
communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted.
Ogden Clinic neurologists and staff aim to address the physical, cognitive,
emotional, and rehabilitative needs of the MS patient and their family.
A few components of treatment include:
Managing MS symptoms with medication and rehabilitation strategies
Modifying the disease course
Treating exacerbations
Promoting safety and function through rehabilitation
Providing emotional support
Although there is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis, Ogden Clinic’s
MS specialists offer a number of FDA-approved medications that have proven
highly effective in treating MS symptoms and modifying attacks. Ogden
Clinic’s neurologists are at the forefront of MS treatment and strive
to ensure that each patient receives the effective, individualized care
they need.
